# Extract Table From Web Page Step

The Extract Table From Web Page Step takes data from a web table and puts it into a datatable variable. Use this to get organized data from web pages for your automation. 

## How to Use the Extract Table From Web Page Step

This step saves data from a web table into a datatable variable.

### Step 1: Add the Extract Table From Web Page Step

1.  Drag and drop the **Extract Table From Web Page Step** into your process flow.

### Step 2: Configure Input Parameters

**Important:** You need to tell the step how to find the web table and how to get the data from it.

**Show column names in first row** (Required)

-   Set to `T` (true) if the first row of the web table has column titles.
-   Set to `F` (false) if the first row is data. `F` is the default setting.

**Columns** (Required)

-   Type a list of the column names you want to save, separated by commas.
-   Example: `Name, Age, City`

**Selector Type** (Required)

-   Pick how to find the web table on the page.
-   Options include:
    -   Class Name
    -   CSS Selector
    -   Name
    -   Id
    -   Link Text
    -   Partial Link Text
    -   Tag Name
    -   XPath

**Selector Value** (Required)

-   Give the specific value for the **Selector Type** you picked.
-   Example: If **Selector Type** is `Id`, type the table's ID (e.g., `myDataTable`).

**Wait for Element until timeout \[ms\]** (Required)

-   Type the longest time in milliseconds the step should wait for the table to show up.
-   Use an existing variable or a direct number.
-   Example: `10000` (waits for 10 seconds)

### Step 3: Configure Output Parameters

**Driver Reference** (Required)

-   Type the variable name that holds your active Selenium driver.

**Result variable name** (Required)

-   Give a name for the datatable variable where the table data will be saved.
-   Example: `extractedTableData`

**Element present** (Required)

-   Assign an existing or new true/false variable.
-   This variable will be `True` if the element was found, `False` if not.

### Step 4: Configure Error Handling

**Throw exception** (Required)

-   Set to `T` (true) if you want the process to stop and show an error if the step fails.
-   Set to `F` (false) if you want the process to keep going even if the step fails. `F` is the default setting.
